What if there is no Contrast,
No night or day, but only grey?
What if no one has a claim to fame,
And there is no one to blame or shame?
What if there is no strife or conflict;
Would that be the end of war?
What if and Only If life is filled with Joy?
Would we appreciate laughter
If there were no tears of sorrow?
What if the oyster had no pain or cause
To create the pearl?
Would the pearl cease to exist?
What if the artist had no challenge to meet?
Would all art be the same?
What if all people were the same?
Would life as we know it continue on?
What if I knew my purpose for this lifetime?
What if we all have the same purpose:
To love one another?
What if our love for each other was the same love
Manifested in as many ways as there are
Personalities in this world?
What if on any given day,
We all awake from our slumber to live and love
To the fullest outreach of our inner being?
What if we dare to love ourselves
As we love our lovers?
What if we dare to love, and there need be no reason
For love other than to love one another for no reason?
What if there is no change of season?
What if there is no night or day,
But only grey?
What if?

I Am

I am a child of the universe
I hear the voices of loved ones
I feel peaceful when I go within
I want to follow my heart
I wonder if there will be peace on earth
I am a child of the universe

I pretend there is peace on earth
I feel the joy of pretending
I touch lives with my words
I cry at sad movies
I laugh when I’m having fun
I am a child of the universe

I understand we all have free will
I say positive affirmations
I dream there will be peace on earth
I write stories, poems, and plays
I hope to follow my heart
I am a child of the universe.

“Reverence”

My word is REVERENCE
It came to me loud and clear
Better not ignore!

Reverence has Her own rhythm,
Dancing to music played by ear.
She sings the Muse’s hymn,
To those who wish to hear

“Namaste”

Namaste is a Sanskrit word
Which speaks of Unity.
It’s a greeting and a way of being
One with all we meet.

When I behold the light in you,
I come from the light in me.
With my outer eyes I see
Our connected reality.

I hereby decree
Namaste for you and me.
I see you as you truly are:
A perfect child of the universe.

Let us know each other
From that place of oneness.
And dance in the sacred realm
Of our harmonious bliss.

I pledge allegiance to the Love within!
With open heart and mind I say,
Have a Namaste Day.
Namaste.

“Follow Your Heart”

Heaven knows no time and space
It’s very fleeting, very fleeting.
Capture it whenever you can.
Follow your heart and you’ll
Always be on the right path.
There are no mistakes.
Let your intuition be your guide
Whenever a choice must be made,
Whatever thoughts come to mind,
Do not equivocate!
Act before the answer fades away.

Heaven knows no time and space;
It’s very fleeting, very fleeting.
Capture it wherever you can
Know yourself and follow your heart’s desire
Have fun
No decision or choice is wrong
You have free will
To listen and be receptive
To the still, small voice within.
All your questions will be answered.
Open your heart to its celestial song.

“My Monkey Mind”

Peace, be still my monkey mind!
Pick one vine and take some time
To hang with me
Before scattering your energy
From vine to vine

Peace, be still.
Let your only movement be
To climb higher in the sacred tree
Of spiritual bliss and serenity
Monkey mind, be one with me.

“Life and Death, A Dialogue”

Mortal Life to Death:
Go away!
Come again when I’m old and gray;
Very, very old and gray.
Why do loved ones have to die?
Why do I?
How can Love let bad things happen?
Where was God during the holocaust
And the plethora of disaster
Both before and after?
Please don’t let my sweet friend die.

Death’s Answer:
You are so quick to plead for life.
All that you’ve been taught
About me, you’ve bought!
Death gets a bad rap;
Unjust and undeserved.
You take to grieving naturally,
Just like Jackie Kennedy.
Lift up the veil before your eyes;
Atone with me and realize
Your soul will rise to Immortality.

When Saint Paul said, “I die daily,”
He was bragging, not complaining.
His daily deaths were meditations.
They took him home to Light and Joy.
Death is a part of life you see…
The just reward that’s meant to be.

Mortal Life:
Why did innocents have to die
In such a tragic way?
Why was their Light covered by
Darkness of mass murder?
Why must their families go on without them?
How can there exist such evil
In this world?

Death:
You mortals are free to choose
The way of light or darkness.
To gently touch a life
Or add tension and strife.
I am the resolution not the conflict,
The new beginning and the end.
The paradox of death is this:
It causes sorrow for those left behind
But moves the soul forward to eternal bliss.

“Walking Meditation”

A gentle breeze blows
Peace with every step I take
A new flower blooms
